Landfish Moving Up

Steve Landfish checked the {10-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} flop before Andrew Lichtenberger fired 6,000. 2011 World Series of Poker November Niner Matt Giannetti raised to 17,100 and then action fell back on Landfish. He reraised and made it 45,000 to go. Lichtenberger and Giannetti both folded and Landfish won the pot.

Last year, Landfish had two really big results at the WSOP. First, he placed second in the $10,000 Seven Card Stud Championship for $204,924. Then, he took fourth in the $10,000 Limit Hold'em Championship for $125,120. This year he's already locked up an in-the-money finish in Event 12: $10,000 Heads-Up No-Limit Hold'em for $10,966.
